tits probably not generally known
that the two Yirginias, the Old and
West Virginia, will be represented
in the Senate of the Fiftieth Con-
gress by an aggregate of the young
est members of that body in respect
to years ever recorded in any two
adjoining States. John w Daniel,
who succeeds Malone, is not yet
fortyfour years old. His senior
colleague, Harrison Riddleberger,
is q year yonger while Camden's
successor from West Virginia,
Charles J. Faulkner, is not yet
forty, and his senior colleague,
Kenna, is just thirty nine.
Senator Kenna is not only very
good manipulator of the bow, but
s also one Of the eleverest amateur.
photographers in the country, and
he enters upon his field of labor
twice armed. 1t is his custom to
carry with him, while on his polit-
ical circuits his violin and his pho
tographic apparatus. The latter
has proven a wonderfully influential
adjunct. He will photograph an
entire family of his bacEwoods con
stituency, in group or detail, and
present the surprised and delighted
aboriginals with the same, which to
them is more novel and acceptable
than a whole front row of seats in
circus. 1t is estimated that Kenna
has during the past three years pho
tographed two-thirds of the entire
population of the rural and noun
tain districts of his State, and has
held thousands of fdiscontented voters
safe TO the party on election day
by the influence of his camera.

The Labor situation.

The labor situation is again begin
ming to assume an aspect not Mt all
favorable. The hod-carriers strike in
Chicago will cause the master-build-
ers of that city to suspend work.
This will throw $4,000 men out of
work, at one stroke. Dealers in
building materials are pledged to
stand by the master-builders in the
movement, and refuse to sell to any
class of men who refuse to accede to
the movement. A lockout begin
ming like this will propably last sew
eral months,and will press with great
rigor upon many thousands of men
who can i'll afford it.
Tho stiike in the Connellsville
coke region, though not backed by
the Knights of labor, may yet be of
long continuance. Throughout the
anthracite coal region there is great
discomfort among miners. An ad-
vance of ten percent in wages has
been asked. But the operators say
they cannot pay it and will close the
mines first. 1t claimed that there
is already enough coal on hand to
supply the market for several months
and that strike will allow the com
panies to dispose of this surplus,
and be benefited rather than in
jured by stopping work. This
being true, all the disadvantages
and losses of the strike would fall
upon the miners.
Then the strike of the stove mold
ers is still keeping large numbers of
men from employment, and at pres
ent it seems that this condition will
continue for some time. Then there
are scores of other strikes through
out the country that in addition to
those named above will swell the
number of men on strikes to nearly
one hundred thousand, and cause a
loss of 81, 10000 week in wages.
This dosen't look encouraging by
any means.
